What people are saying about New Jersey

The skyline tour is highly recommended! Milli, who was our tour guide that evening, picked us up punctually at the meeting point and helped us to have a special experience at unusual stops with a lot of knowledge, exciting information and a lot of charm and fun. And liked it very much!

It was too crowded and cramped in the castle. Considering its importance, the garden was in rather poor condition! (very dried up)

Milky was an excellent tour guide. She knows a lot about the different areas and history

It was a beautiful experience. Breathtaking views. All perfect.

Exciting, absolutely not to be missed. Fantastic guide
